I can't plan that far ahead, because of work. All I would like to know, or have as an indication, is whether or not Munchies are usually planned so far in advance as this one is; because by the time I get to know if I can make a Munchie (I appreciate that I would need to be accepted 1st), would it not be full? If you were asking about August, I could probably pin down that far ahead, but November! No way!
The response I'm expecting is essentially one of the following; "Yes we do, sorry",or "No we don't, this is unusual", or "Well, it varies, so sometimes yes, sometimes no, on this occasion yes."
If "yes...", I'll never make it to one, if "No..." then I probably would make a future one, if "...it varies..." then I might get to some! I hope you see why I am asking; I would rather know now than waste time later, yours and mine.
I can't plan that far ahead because of work either, but it doesn't stop me getting to know people. In fact, there's people on this site that I speak to but will probably never have a chance to meet, doesn't mean I am wasting their time or mine by chatting to them.
In response to your question, it does vary.

FFS!!! No-one ever tells me they are coming...
*throws cat out*
*hides paperwork under sofa*
*remembers that the new sofa has actually still not arrived*
*thinks about dusting*
*thinks again*
Have a lovely time, I love those sort of holidays until you drive until you find the perfect spot...it's given me some ideas actually!

I personally make it a rule never to post in someones hello thread unless I can ask a question that I will feel they will be comfortable asking and offers them the opportunity to have a conversation.
I am of the same frame of mind, I very rarely say hello to people (unless they are people that I have introduced to this site, that's a whole different thing!) I don't do this out of rudeness though, just get a bit fed up of posting
because I don't think I am contributing to anything doing that. On the other hand, if we ignored first posts and didn't :wave: then said newbie might be put off, so I tend to go with whether there is something I can help them with or even encourage them with.Quote by KitKat
I believe it starts the moment someone walks through the door. Rather than respond with the ritual "Hi, sit down and join in the banter we are all mad in here forget your real life" Respond by taking an interest in the person and asking questions. Not A/S/L what are you in to- I don't believe anyone should be asked for that information, Sensible social questions based on their post.
This gets people into the right frame of mind from the start, makes for a more interesting introduction, and, most importantly, gives people the opportuinity to get themselves known without the stresses of diving into miriads of threads.
I think (if I can remember that far back) this is what you did to me, Kat. You took an interest in me, along with some of the others and helped me out of my little old shell. And for that, I do thank you all
I don't really care how many posts people have done, to be honest. I'm probably classed here as one of the oldies, I can remember when I joined and there were just a handful of us that posted in the Cafe and we all got know each other pretty well.
I do remember my elation at finding such a forum though and I think I probably "went a bit mad" when I first joined too. Munches hadn't started when I joined though so it wasn't for the intention of being invited to one...I think I was just over-excited at being here which is why I say "awww" when a see a new person being the same. Don't get me wrong, sometimes I think "why are they posting so much shite??" but then everyone is different.
I do pick up on what someone said earlier in this thread though, people get to know each other and start having private conversations (whether it be by PM, MSN, email or phone) and start to interact less on the board. I'm on a lot of internet forums and this happens everywhere.
I know for certain this is why I post less. I came on (for example) the other night and sent a PM to someone I've known for a long time and started reading threads, then a PM came through from her and we started chatting. I forgot about the forum because I was chatting and lost track of time.
I don't want to blame the newbies for posting anything that is not deemed interesting because there's loads of people joined since I did and I love some of the postings here, I know some of it is boring and has been done to death but really, what am I doing to sort that out? Nothing...because I am chatting to my friends by PM.
Reading back, this sounds like a lot of crap but who cares, I'm posting it anyway before I look to see who is coming to Sparkle!!

Feel sorry for me...
I spent the night in the company of my mate and her mate.
We spent the time "comparing" pics of our kids. :shock:
I wanted to SCREAM so much!!!
Anyhoo, the best part of the night was when we were planning another "pic-showing, talking about kids, comparing what uni our kids were going to" talk when they suggested 25 June and I told them I was going to Sparkle.
Nearly bloody wet myself at their reactions....
And I quote "thought it was bad enough when you were a bridesmaid at a gay wedding, is there no end to your madness?"
"Madness" here I come!! :twisted:

I beg to differ! :shock:
I'm sometimes on here at 7am and it's purely to see what has gone on during the night, I especially love the locked threads at 7am (oh, how I miss them!!)
I'm (almost defo) not horny at that time, I'm usually reading posts/waiting for the kettle to boil/waiting for the *boak* weetabix to turn into mash/watching the clock to see how long I have left until the bus leaves my stop/trying to ignore the two men in my life...
But yeah, apart from that, I'm usually on here when I am horny!!! :lol:
